SNCF announced the completion of works for phase 2 of the high-speed line that will link Vaires-sur-Marne and Vendenheim. Works began in 2010 and involved the construction of 106 km of new railway between Baudrecourt and Vendenheim. The first stage of the line was completed in 2007 and involved the construction of 300 km between Paris and Strasbourg.
In addition to the reduced travel time, “the other advantage of the new high speed line consists of relieving of the bottlenecks on the conventional network for small regional freight and passenger transport,” Catherine Trautmann, Eurométropole Vice-President said.
